Question

Which statement is true about this equation??

y = 2^x + 4
A.
It represents neither a relation nor a function.
B.
It represents a relation only.
C.
It represents a function only.
D.
It represents both a relation and a function.

Answer 1

D. It represents both a relation and a function

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

All functions are relations, but not all relations are functions. The equation given is an Exponential function.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is C. It represents a function only.

A function is a special type of relation where each input value is associated with only one output value. In other words, for every x in the domain of the function, there is only one corresponding y in the range.

In this equation, y = 2^x + 4, for every value of x, there is a unique corresponding value of y. So, it satisfies the requirement of a function and represents a function only.
